In Tacoma
Tacoma is a port city with older Victorian and Craftsman neighborhoods, plus waterfront and industrial areas.
Older homes in Tacoma may have older wiring, and a job that looks simple can show something unexpected, which we tell you about before going further.
Tacoma's older neighborhoods have homes from a long span of eras, so the first thing we look at is what pipe is actually behind the wall.

Then the cause is elsewhere on the circuit. That is electrical troubleshooting, with its own posted price.
